Not as good as Bluebeam revu the older version of this app.

It seems the only way to edit drawings is to be in a session. The older version I could open pdf files and edit. That makes this app totally useless unless you use it with a subscription. Please change this!!!

Response from developer

Hi lepa2500. Try the new Bluebeam iOS app, also known as Bluebeam Cloud. You’ll be able to edit drawings in Sessions, check in new Studio Project file revisions, or edit your own personal files. You can do all of this without a subscription today. Vu for iPad and Revu for iPad will be retired in the coming weeks due to outdated technology. Thanks for the feedback.

Not worth downloading

I spent 25 minutes trying to figure out how to access my files that are stored on my iPad and iCloud account. I couldn’t access my files. If it’s this hard to add files, I don’t want it.
I deleted it already.

Bad

If I could give negative stars I would. This is not good (garbage).

Abandoned software?

Hasn’t been updated to modern iPad resolution so it doesn’t match newer screens. Hard to navigate when things don’t fit on the screens. Given the lack care building the app this shouldn’t be a paid app.

Frequent crashes and memory issues

The app is not capable of handling typical drawing sets and suffers from constant memory issues and software crashes.
